3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
While Keith may be an expert on the original Type 1 Beetle, I felt a bit disappointed by this book. Perhaps I was expecting more, but the book really doesn't go into too much detail, or at least not as much as I was hoping for. I can get more info on the New Beetle from NewBeetle.org

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great, not horrible, September 16, 2011

This review is from: VW New Beetle: The Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This is a fun little piece of knowledge from concept to road car. There are a lot of little details mentioned that I wasn't aware of, car specs I didn't know existed, etc. Lots of great color photos for styling ideas and whatnot.

I feel like this book falls a bit short if by the term "handbook" you associate the term "guide". Most things you might want to know about new beetle performance can be found on several websites at not cost. However, if you are a fanatic about your beetle, as many people are, this is a great coffee table book.
